The 6ft 1in defender, who was spotted playing junior football for Bridlington and taken on at Huddersfield as a youngster, said: “I’m delighted to have been given the chance to come here.

“From day one the lads have made me feel welcome and helped me settle in and there’s a fantastic spirit about the place.”
